Workshop

The workshop marks the launch of a new cooperation agreement between DIW Berlin and the Feminizidmap initiative, which will make the Feminizidmap database available to researchers across our institute. The database systematically documents cases of femi(ni)cide in Germany, providing a valuable resource for research on gender-based violence. During the workshop, members of the Feminizidmap initiative will introduce the database, discuss its conceptual and methodological foundations, and provide insights into the challenges of collecting data on femi(ni)cides based on media reporting. Beyond introducing this new data resource, we see the workshop as an opportunity to bring together researchers from across DIW departments who are working on or interested in topics related to gender-based violence, to exchange ideas and explore potential avenues for future research and collaboration.

If you have any questions regarding the workshop or our cooperation agreement with the Feminizidmap initiative, please feel free to get in touch with Clara Schäper  cschaeper@diw.de. The workshop will be held in English, with the possibility of discussing individual questions in German and is open exclusively to internal participants (DIW Berlin).
